Introducing Em & Wit Design
This is what we’re up to, have been for a while. A sort of rebranding. Em & Wit Design. Well, we’re still the Wits, but we’re also Em & Wit. Read on, friends. Before moving to our current house (project), … Continue reading
The Pro Pics of the Minnesota House
As promised, this is the post with the professional shots of our old house. It feels strange to write “our old house” because that place will always have a part of Greg and I. It still feels a bit like … Continue reading
Basement Reveal
Yeah it’s September and I haven’t been around since mid-July. Whatev. We’re finishin’ a house here. Greg’s 30th birthday went by August 17th, my 32nd birthday is Friday, we have guests coming this weekend-Greg’s parents and youngest brother. We’re looking … Continue reading
Over the Last Month…
Greg’s 29th birthday and my 31st have gone by, his parents came to visit (it was great-thank you so much to them for the help), we got a loan to finish the rest of the house, we were asked to … Continue reading
Campaign and Faux Campaign Dresser Reveal
Instead of telling you how horribly wrong the spray painting went on our “new” front door with our new Wagner sprayer last weekend (popcorn ceiling texture, anyone?) or how I bamboozled myself into thinking doing a laminate dresser would be … Continue reading
Doorway Update
Wrote a post for you guys about my dreaming of pedestal sinks yesterday. A post with a bunch of photos from Houzz.com, using their embed feature, when not a photo showed up here as it’s supposed to and an hour wasted. So, … Continue reading
What We’d Like and Not Like To See In Our Next House
*Sorry but this post contains more of my amazing depictions with stick figures. Don’t be jealous of my skills. I’ve been checking out real estate near Seattle-I know, rather early since we have a year or so before the move-and … Continue reading

We're Annie and Greg Witkamp (aka the Wits, aka Em & Wit Design). We salvage, refurbish and design furniture and homes. We're taking a break from an online & social media presence (for the most part). Our time on the blog was memorable and fun, but we're off to other projects and opportunities. Most derived from our shenanigans here. We'll drop in once in a while, but just know we're off chasing our dreams, tackling goals and living a life we enjoy.
Our specialty is wood furniture in rough shape that we come across on craigslist, at estate sales, on the curb, in a barn, you get it. Those pieces are cleaned, repaired, refurbished and good to go for years to come. Sometimes we design our own pieces.
As of spring 2016, we decided to make this website, the Wits, about our remodeling homes and emandwit.com about the furniture. You can shop there, ask us questions, see our newly finished pieces and portfolio.
We sold our second remodeled home near Seattle in August 2018 and moved to Richmond, Virginia. Getting to Washington was a goal that took years to achieve, but we had an opportunity come up and we grabbed hold (again)!
You can watch our journey right here, there, and/or through Instagram.
